Lord Falconer of Thoroton

"Fairness to the Scots, the Welsh, and the Northern Irish, coupled with strong local support, made devolution necessary. The preservation of the union made it necessary. There is no similar case for English devolution. The total disinterest that people in England show in this issue makes it clear that they realise that as well."

Guy Lodge and Meg Russell, The Constitution Unit - Restricting voting of Scots MPs could lead to English Parliament (Scotsman, 18 Jan 2006)
